[Amps] Cheap auxiliary amp cooling

[Jim Barber]

Rob,

In this particular case, the manufacturer recommends adding a fan for 
high duty cycle modes.

Your point is well taken, though. More pressure would help. Assuming the 
flange is a standard size, a larger blower could be mounted with maybe 
only one component move.
